Beefeater The Plough, Solihull

Nothing much to say about a Beefeater - it does what it says on the tin! Only Pedigree on offer. Not really worth it if you aren't eating here.

Large pub / restaurant with the bar in the original part of the building, extended at some stage with a single-storey seating area at one end with a further (much larger) recent extension to the other side and rear housing the various dining areas. Usual semi-modern chain decor throughout, but the interior is unusually uncrammed in terms of furniture. Also has a modest patio beer garden at the bar end. Just Pedigree (£3.40) available from one of two handpumps (with a reversed Doom Bar clip on the other), but it does at least offer real ale.
